AnnouncementFund Raising for American Lung Association in Honor of Gin Goon4/21/2012 marks the beginning of the campaign to raise fund for American Lung Association (ALA) in honor of Gin Goon. On that day, long distance hikers challenges the best of their hiking skill and physical endurance for the Gin's 26-miles Hike. Gin's hike is a 28 miles day hike with many ups and downs in the mountains of Harriman Park. Despite the absence of two veteran hikers who injured themselves during training, there were 18 challengers. Among them, there were six first-time 26-mile hikers. The shorter distance hikers greet them near the Big Hill Shelter with water and warm support. All the 18 hikers completed the arduous 28 miles route in less than 13 hours. As pledged, CMCNY will donate $20 to ALA for each finishers, totalling $360.If you have missed these excitement, Wendy Zhou has captured these unforgettable moments in this short film.
